A Texas native who experienced her first snowflakes in Pittsburgh last year was miffed by the lost gloves she spotted all over the city last winter. Whom did they belong to? Wouldn't they want them back? Why were people just walking past them?

So Jennifer Gooch, who is pursuing her master of fine arts degree at Carnegie Mellon University, started onecoldhand.com in an effort to reunite dropped gloves with their mates - and in the process spread some goodwill.

One of her first ones was a moist, lambskin glove that someone had propped up on a ledge on campus. She was worried about taking it at first. What if the owner came back to claim it?

In its place, she left a small rectangular sticker. A drawing of a black glove is scrawled on it and says, "Missing a glove? onecoldhand.com."

Gooch displays the gloves on the wall in her basement art studio at the university. There are 21 so far, each tacked up with push pins. Small yellow Post-it notes and slips of scrap paper hang there, too, chronicling where each was found.

One reads, "Found by Shaun Tuesday, Nov. 20 Penn Ave. between 29th & 28th." Below it, the finder drew two gloves - one outlined in a solid line, its mate outlined with a broken line.

Some appear to be expensive, others not so much. On the wall hangs a beige, left-handed woman's glove, with a dangling, sparkling rhinestone charm.

"That's a great glove," Gooch, 29, beamed Friday. "It's leather. It's got bling, but it's so useless now."
